Since then, she has always had a heart for survivors and to educate others on the realness of trafficking. Mackenzie has always had the call on her life to love others and disciple them, and is one of the best callings in her opinion! Through prayer and God's guidance, He has led her to come and work with the amazing team at Eden’s Glory! Fun fact: Mackenzie lived in Southern India for a year-long mission trip!

Survivor Speaker
My name is Winda, I am a survivor of human trafficking from the age of 4 until age 25. Currently I serve by training groups on what human trafficking is and how they can work to eliminate it in their communities. In 2016 I came to Eden’s Glory and that program gave me a second chance at life. Eden’s Glory is a place that helps me encounter God, that erased the lies and wrote truth in my being.
